Security
The security of your information is important to us.
This website automatically encrypts your confidential information in transit from your computer to ours using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with an encryption key length of 128-bits (the highest level commercially available).
Once your information reaches us, it resides on a server that is guarded both physically and electronically. Our servers sit behind an electronic firewall and are not directly connected to the Internet, so your private information is available only to authorized personnel.
Security remains the primary concern of our customers. The VeriSign Secure Site Program allows you to learn more about this web site before submitting any confidential information electronically. By clicking on the Secure Site Seal, you can verify the site you are viewing is the registered owner of that website address.
About SSL Certificates
How can I tell that SSL is in effect?
The URL of a secure document begins with HTTPS://. The additional "S" on the end of the familiar HTTP indicates a secure channel to the server. Every secure page on this site has been secured with a digital certificate. This is shown via the "site certificate" that sits on all secure pages. To view this certificate, click on the image of the closed lock or the solid key on the bottom bar of your browser window.
